r/GMail on Reddit: I have access to my gmail from my old phone but forgot the password to log into my new one
October 19, 2024 -

I keep getting the “You didn’t provide enough info for Google to be sure this account is really yours. Google asks for this info to keep your account secure. If possible, try again and use a device where you’ve signed in before.” when I say I forgot my password. Even using my old phone, I only can access it through my mails app which doesn’t tell me the current password.

Surely there must be a way to find or reset the password since I still can access the emails from my account. Any advice is much appreciated!

Is there a working recovery e-mail and recovery phone configured on the account? If not, it will probably be impossible to prove ownership of the account. The only account recovery option Google provides starts at https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery Google does not provide live support for account recovery, you must use the above link.

Without knowing if your phone is Android or iPhone, the following process MAY help on your old phone if it is Android. Open up "Settings" on your old phone. Scroll down to "Accounts and backup" and click it. Click on "Manage accounts". Find your "forgotten password" Google account with the "G" logo and click on it. Click on "Google Account". This should bring up your details for the account and will show a horizontal scrollable line just below your email address. Scroll this line until you find the "Security" tab and click on it. At this point, you should be able to see a shield logo relating to "Security Checkup", which in your case, will probably show as a yellow warning message. Clicking on the shield or "See details" will bring you to a list of "Security Check-Up" and "recommended actions", which should end up having green ticks when you are done. You need to focus on the "Sign-in and recovery" drop-down menu and deal with all the warnings under that menu. You need to set as many "2-Step Verification" options as you can to enough verification for your account. You could, at several points in the process, be challenged to provide a password to authenticate yourself. Be careful if you do get this warning as you could lock yourself out of the account. I can't be sure, but you might be able to change your password from this point by the "forgotten password" recovery process as you are doing it from the account that should "know" that you were authenticated. But be careful. There are no guarantees. I hope this helps.

r/GMail on Reddit: How Can I recover My Email With Forgotten Password?
March 30, 2024 -

I opened a Gmail to use for my WhatsApp account back up. The phone's screen broken and when replaced the phone was wiped/reset.

I tried to restore the WhatsApp but my passwords are wrong.

I've tried several passwords with no luck. Tried to recover it and Google says use a device you've used before. It's the same device but as it's been wiped and rest it appears it's been seen as a new one.

How can I recover My account? I actually have access to the inbox as I added it to an email client but I don't recall the password. It's Yahoo email client but it doesn't show the password used to set it up and Google doesn't offer to send a link to the email to reset the password or to the mobile. It says there's insufficient information.

Please I have so much info in the WhatsApp in particular one that proves a photographer owes me money.

Thanks.

r/GMail on Reddit: Forgot Password (No Phone or Recovery email)
December 10, 2023 -

Hi everyone,

I use a PC for my Gmail. I haven't signed out in years. Earlier this evening I had accidentally signed out and I can't remember my password to log back in.

I tried to do the account recovery but it's not helping. Reason: I no longer have the phone number I used on that email address, so I can't get the code they would normally send me.

Also, I'm unable to sign into my recovery email because it's a very old one that I haven't used in a long time. It took several tries for me to get my recovery email password right, but by that time, outlook had notice my previous attempts at logging in as suspicious and made me answer a bunch of questions to verify that it's me. Well, I failed that because I can't remember email addresses I sent mail to from years ago, along with the subject of recent emails that they ask for.

Is there any other way for me to try to recover my gmail password without my old phone number and recovery email?

It's so frustrating because I thought I had written down my password, but when I checked, it was for a different email address.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks
